 Upon Their Person.
 John Gallagher, better known to his pals as Berg" Gallagher, was arrested in Hart ford last evening for burglary and brought to this city where the act was committed.
 Gallagher resides on Franklin street this city and is the son of respectable parents. He was released from State prison two weeks ago, where he had been serving three years term for burglary. One night in December, 1883, Gallagher entered Munson's grocery store at the corner of Grand avenue and Franklin street. Mrs. Munson heard the noise from her apartments over the store. She called Officer McGrath, who entered the store from the rear. Gallagher made break and went through the window. glass and frame. The officer followed and captured his man after an exciting chase Gallagher was sentenced for three years.
 Gallagher with a pal attempted to bur glarize the dry goods store of T. J. Shanley & Go. on Grand avenue early Thursday morning. It proved unsuccessful. The at tempt and Gallaghers connection with it were reported exclusively in the COURIER Thurs day morning After the attempt on the Grand avenue store Gallagher and his pal went to Fair Haven East where they effected an entrance into Lucius Rowe's dry goods store. They got in by breaking a large light of glass and crawling through the opening thus made. They were severely cut by the operation. They got away with a beaver overcoat and 8 lot of other goods. A large quantity of goods valued at S1 ,000, WAS found piled up by the window the next morning in readiness for transportation. Gallagher went to Hart ford early Thursday morning where he was joined by a married woman named Mrs. Kelly, who resides down town. Her husband is now in jail.
 The precinct police arrested Gallagher's pal, Patrick Flaherty, in a Wallace street saloon at 10 o'clock last night. On both Gal lagher and Flaherty were found some of the stolen goods

 Ger Dead And Then Kills Himself
 HAvERHILL, Mass, Sept. 23.-J. H. Abbott, Widower, forty-eight years of age, shot and killed his daughter, Mrs. Ma mic E. Cummings, about 9 o'clock this morning and then shot himself. The two with his two youngest children, girl of ff- teen and boy, lived at No. Porter street. Of late Abbott has been drinking hard and tonight went home drunk. The daughter was absent in neighbours house, but returned soon after her father. She evil dently took 8 seat at table, and while in that petition her father shot her twice with a thirty-two caliber pistol, the ball taking ef- feet in her head. He then went to an ajoin- ing room, reloaded the pistol, returned to the room where his daughter lay dead, shot himself in the head and fell dead beside his murdered child. Mrs 0. A. Kinball, who lives down stairs. heard the report of the pistol and ran to call Mrs. Cummings, who she supposed wass a her sisters next door, but found she had gone home. Meanwhile the little girl had gone upstairs and returning said "My God! they are both dead" The husband of Mrs. Cummings was away at the time. The murdered woman was twenty-eight years of age and leaves no children of her own. The medical examiner has the case in charge.

 Great Crowds Cheer Him As He Goes
 Before His Accusers.
 CORK, Sept. 23.-Mr. William O'Brien, who is charged by the government with sedi- ton under the coercion act, was taken to-day from the Cork jail to Mitchelstown, where the alleged eeditious language was used, to stand trial before the court there. As be left the city under guard of detachment of hussars and police he was loudly cheered. Upon their arrival at Mitceelstown MT. O'Brien was received with tremendous cheer ing by large crowd which had gathered to welcome him. The crowd manifested great excitement, but there were no indications of disorder He was immediately conveyed by his guards to the court room. Many English ladies were present to witness the trial, and Mir. O'Brien was the recipient of bouquets from a number of them. When the case was opened several policemen were called as witnesses for the government. They testified from memory as to his language, which they asserted tended to incite his listeners to vio- fence. During the hearing of this evidence a procession, armed with sticks and headed by a wagon carrying band, marched into town from the country. The hussars stopped the wagon, but allowed the other part ot the procession to proceed. It took up position close to the court room, but order was ob- served.
 Constable Foley admitted that the notes he made of what Mir. OBrien said in his speech were made next morning and from memory.a The head constable told him to write the report He was not asked to pro duce the notes for many days. He could not swear that MT. O'Brien spoke in the order in which she words appeared in the notes.
